What does Antarctic have and not the Arctic?
In this context, Antarctica is a continent; there is no continent in the Arctic, specifically at the poles: 90 degrees.
How is the magnetic North Pole different from the geographic North Pole?
Magnetic north pole is where your compass will point. Geographic North pole is at the "top" of the globe. If you put a pole straigh thru the earth from the north pole to the south it would be a straigh line.Magnetic north and south poles can and do move because the eath's magnetic field flucuates.The geographical or 'true'' north pole is the point where the Earth's axis line touches the Earth's northernmost surface. That is somewhere in the (northern) Arctic Ocean.The location of the magnetic north (and south) pole 'travel around' over time. Today the magnetic south pole - strange as it may sound - is located in the north of Canada, the magnetic north pole in southern Antarctica.
What country is opposite Antarctica?
The Arctic is opposite Antarctica. Like Antarctica, no country owns the Arctic
What pole is located in a continent southpole or North Pole?
The South Pole is located in Antarctica and therefore is on a continent. The ground is permanently frozen there with over a mile of ice above the land mass. The North Pole is conversely NOT on a continent, it actually is not even located on land. The geographic North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean and seasonally frozen over.
What is the main difference between the north and south pole-?
In the North Pole the Artic has a natural melting cycle while in the South Pole its ice shelf has the same size and shape. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere while Polar Bears live in the Northern Hemisphere.
What is different about south and north?
The North Magnetic and Geographic Poles are on a floating ice pack although the Magnetic North Pole can be located on a Canadian Island in the Arctic ocean. To study these poles requires constant movement as the ice moves around over the arctic ocean. The South Magnetic and Geograhic Poles are on the continant of Antarctica. For observation purposes the South Geological Pole has a perminant fixed facility and the Magnetic pole can be studied by moving across the snow covered land as required. To remember the difference think below you is land, the South Pole is on Land.
